Purpose To explore the value of dual-layer spectral detector CT(DLSCT)in evaluating preoperative tumor staging in rectal adenocarcinoma(RA).Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients with pathologically confirmed RA in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from May 2021 to March 2022 were involved in this retrospective study.All the patients underwent plain and dual-phase contrast-enhanced scans by DLSCT within one week before surgery.Taking pathological results as the golden standard,the accuracy rates of tumor staging were calculated and compared between the multiple-parameter maps derived from DLSCT and 120 kVp polyenergetic image.The effective atomic number(Z-eff)from plain scan,iodine concentration(IC)from arterial phase(AP)and venous phase(VP)were measured.The normalized iodine concentration(NIC)in AP and VP were calculated.The differences of Z-eff,NICAP and NICVP were compared among the pT1-2,pT3 and pT4 groups.The correlation between the pT stages and above values was assessed and the diagnostic efficiencies were analyzed.Results The overall accuracy rate(88.46%vs.67.95%;χ2=9.628,P=0.002),the pT1-2 staging accuracy rate(80.00%vs.40.00%;χ2=6.667,P=0.01),and the pT3 staging accuracy rate(88.10%vs.69.05%;χ2=4.525,P=0.033)of multiple-parameter maps derived from DLSCT were significantly higher than those of 120 kVp polyenergetic image,respectively.The Z-eff,NICAP and NICVP were significantly different among pT stage groups(F=6.456,11.029,12.698,all P<0.05)and exhibited a positive correlation with pT stages(r=0.371,0.367,0.363,all P<0.01).The areas under the curve of Z-eff,NICAP and NICVP to assess pT3-4 staging RA were 0.77,0.71 and 0.74,respectively.Conclusion The multiple-parameter maps derived from DLSCT can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative tumor staging of RA.Z-eff from plain scan and NIC from dual-phase helps differentiate pT1-2 from pT3-4 staging RA.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Purpose: This study attempted to detect the changes of cervical cancer screening rate and willingness among female migrants, and the associated socio-demographic factors in Shenzhen city. Materials and Methods: Two citywide surveys were conducted using a multistage random cluster sampling method in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Data on demographic characteristics, screening participation, and willingness to screen were collected. Logistic regression models were applied to detect possible associated socio-demographic characteristics, and their variations with survey years. Results: In total, 12,017 female migrants were enrolled, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 36.73 (6.55) years. From 2011 to 2014, the screening rate increased (25.8% vs. 35.1%, p < 0.001), while the willingness to screen remained stable (82.2% vs. 82.8%, p=0.46). Overall, socio-demographic characteristics of female migrants, including age, marital status, education, monthly income, employment, and medical insurance, were found to be positively associated with screening participation. Similar impacts in relation to willingness were observed except for age. However, these associations varied with survey years, mainly in the contributions of education and monthly income to screening participation, as well as age, monthly income, and medical insurance to willingness of being screened. Conclusion Identifying changes of associated socio-demographic factors precisely is warranted of necessity, which provides novel clues to adjust targeted actions regularly in promoting cervical cancer screening participation among female migrants in Shenzhen.

Objective:To analyze characteristics and trends of histopathological diagnosis of adult renal biopsy in Beijing from 2008 to 2020.Methods:A total of 4 652 cases of adult renal biopsy were collected from three hospitals in Beijing between 2008 and 2020. The patients were divided into three age groups: 18-40 years, 40-65 years and≥ 65 years; and also divided into three period: 2008-2011, 2012-2015, and 2016-2020. The pathological characteristics and changes of renal biopsy were analyzed in three age groups at different periods.Results:Among 4 652 cases primary glomerular disease accounted for 81.8%, the membranous nephropathy (MN, 32.4%, 1 509/4 652), IgA nephropathy (IgAN, 29.2%, 1 356/4 652) and minor glomerular abnormalities (MGA, 11.3%, 526/4 652) were the top three pathological types. The overall proportion of MN and diabetic nephropathy (DN) increased from 20.3% and 2.3% in 2008-2011 to 37.3% and 10.1% in 2016-2020) (χ2=99.9 and 96.1, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group 18-40 years, the MN and DN increased from 11.2% and 1.6% in 2008-2011 to 24.7% and 5.5% in 2016-2020 (χ2=32.7 and 20.7, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group 40-65 years the MN and DN increased from 26.6% and 3.2% in 2008-2011 to 41.5% and 13.1% in 2016-2020 (χ2=39.1 and 57.3, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group≥65 years the MN was the most common pathological type in the three periods, fluctuating between 41.3% and 55.0% (χ2=5.2, P=0.08); and DN increased from 0(0/63) in 2008-2011 to 7.5%(22/292) in 2016-2020 (χ2=8.1, P=0.02). Conclusion:The renal biopsy data show that membranous nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy are the most common primary and secondary adult glomerular diseases in Beijing recently.

Objective To explore the correlation between social support and pregnancy depression in Shenzhen. Methods From August 2018 and June 2020, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted among pregnant women who underwent pregnancy examination in a 3A-grade maternal & child health care hospital. A total of 1 396 questionnaires with complete information were collected. Chi-square test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to analyze the baseline characteristics. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI confidence interval between social support and pregnancy depression were estimated using logistics regression model. Subgroup analysis was also conducted. Results There were statistically significant differences in education level, medical insurance rate, household registration, family monthly income, proportion of multiparas, proportion of husbands being the only child, pregnancy stress and social support between the depression group and non-depression group. After multi-factors adjustment, the OR (95% CI) of the total social support score was 0.97(95%CI 0.95-0.99), the OR (95% CI) of the objective support dimension was 0.90(95% CI 0.87-0.94), and the P value of the interaction term multiplied by pregnancy term was less than 0.05. According to the stratified analysis of pregnancy, the total score of social support was significantly correlated with the depression status only in the third trimester, with an OR (95% CI) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99). The objective support dimension was significantly correlated with depression status in the first and third trimesters, and the OR (95% CI) was 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.99) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.94), respectively. The OR of support utilization score in the third trimester was 0.91 (95% CI 0.83-0.99). Conclusion Social support was negatively correlated with depression during pregnancy and was particularly important in the third trimester. Various dimensions of social support were differentially correlated with pregnancy depression in each trimester. The objective support dimension was particularly important in the first and third trimesters.

Objective:To investigate whether adjuvant skin-marker positioning can decrease the set-up errors in overweight patients with thoracic and abdominal tumors.Methods:A total of 60 overweight patients with thoracic and abdominal tumors treated with radiotherapy in the First Affiliated of Fujian Medical University between January 2018 and December 2018 were randomly divided into two groups. In group A, conventional skin-marker positioning was adopted. In group B, conventional skin-marker positioning combined with adjuvant skin-marker position was employed. All patients were immobilized with thermoplastic positioning body membrane with head-body plate fixation. The set-up errors in the right-left, head-foot and dorsoventral directions were obtained from cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan system before radiation delivery. The set-up errors were statistically compared between two groups by using t-test. Results:In group A, the set-up errors in the right-left, head-foot and dorsoventral directions were (4.47±2.91) mm, (5.43±2.61) mm and (3.87±2.40) mm, significantly higher compared with (2.97±1.68) mm, (3.21±1.62) mm and (2.59±1.57) mm, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Adjuvant skin-marker positioning method can reduce the set-up errors and enhance the positioning repeatability in overweight patients with thoracic and abdominal tumors receiving radiotherapy.

Chiral amines are important building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutical products and fine chemicals. Highly stereoselective synthesis of chiral amines compounds through asymmetric amination has attracted more and more attention. ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) are a promising class of natural biocatalysts which provide an efficient and environment-friendly access to production of chiral amines with stringent enantioselectivity and excellent catalytic efficiency. Compared with (S)-ω-TA, the research focused on (R)-ω-TA was relatively less. However, increasing demand for chiral (R)-amines as pharmaceutical intermediates has rendered industrial applications of (R)-ω-TA more attractive. Improving the thermostability of (R)-ω-TA with potential biotechnological application will facilitate the preparation of chiral amines. In this study, the dynamic surface loop with higher B-factor from Aspergillus terreus (R)-ω-TA was predicted by two computer softwares (PyMOL and YASARA). Then mutant enzymes were obtained by deleting amino acid residues of a dynamic surface loop using site-directed mutagenesis. The results showed that the best two mutants R131del and P132-E133del improved thermostability by 2.6 ℃ and 0.9 ℃ in T₅₀¹⁰ (41.1 ℃ and 39.4 ℃, respectively), and 2.2-fold and 1.5-fold in half-life (t1/2) at 40 ℃ (15.0 min and 10.0 min, respectively), compared to that of wild type. Furtherly, the thermostability mechanism of the mutant enzymes was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and intermolecular interaction analysis. R131del in the loop region has lower root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) than the wild type at 400 K for 10 ns, and mutant enzyme P132-E133del increases four hydrogen bonds in the loop region. In this study, we obtain two stability-increased mutants of (R)-ω-TA from A. terreus by deleting its dynamic surface loop and also provide methodological guidance for the use of rational design to enhance the thermal stability of other enzymes.

Objective To evaluate the treatment of lateral tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral condyle with double plate fixation via the combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches.Methods From January 2013 to August 2015,12 patients with lateral tibial plateau fracture involving the posterolateral condyle were treated by double plate fixation via the combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches.They were 8 males and 4 females,with an average age of 36.9 years (range,from 23 to 58 years).According to the Schatzker classification,we had 8 ones of type Ⅱ,3 ones of type Ⅴ and one of type Ⅵ.Firstly,the posterolateral condylar fractures were stabilized temporarily by the Kirschner wire after reduction through the posterolateral approach.Secondly,the lateral tibial plateau fractures were dealt with via the anterolateral approach,and fixated with a proximal tibial locking plate.Finally,a T-shaped plate for the distal radius was used to support the posterolateral condyle.The clinical and radiographic results were evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and the Rasmussen Score,respectively.Results The average operative time was 143.3 min (range,from 110 to 210 min);the average intraoperative blood loss was 190.0 mL (range,from 100 to 300 mL).The follow-ups for the 12 cases ranged from 12 to 24 months (average,16.6 months).All the cases obtained clinical healing after 12 to 24 weeks (average,16 weeks).At the last follow-up,the HSS knee-scores ranged from 65 to 98 points (average,84.6 points),giving 7 excellent cases,3 good ones and 2 fair ones.The Rasmussen radiological scores ranged from 13 to 18 points (average,17.1 points),giving 8 excellent and 4 good cases.Conclusions The combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches can offer excellent exposure for articular reduction and fixation with double plates,achieving satisfactory radiological and functional results in lateral tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral condyle.First reduction of the posterior lateral condylar fractures,followed by reduction and fixation of the anterolateral plateau fractures and finally fixation of the lateral condylar fractures,can lead to effectively improved knee function for the patients.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of the early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria for early RA and to assess the clinical efficacy of knee arthroscopic synovectomy for RA.Methods A total of 62 patients who had arthritic complaints with disease duration less than one year were treated with knee arthroscopic synovectomy.Patients were diagnosed as RA confirmed by changes of synoviomorphous under arthroscopy,synovial biopsy,immunological biochemical laboratory and MRI,and compared with the preoperative ERA diagnosis.The efficacy was assessed at the third months and more than 12 months after operation,including Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ),Lysholm score,laboratory parameters of erythrocyte sedi-mentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP).Results The sensitivity and specificity in the early RA classification criteria for RA diagnosis were 81.58％ and 91.67％.38 patients diagnosed as RA and the remaining 24 patients were significantly improved of HAQ,Lysholm score,ESR,CRP compared with preoperation,showed statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).There were still statistical differences between the follow-up results of the group of patients with RA in different period after operation (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The early RA classification criteria is worthy of clinical application,because it has the advantages of simple,practical,and is beneficial to early diagnosis of RA.The early RA patients should be treated with knee arthroscopic synovectomy as far as possible.It can improve not only the knee function,but also the general symptoms,and it can interrupt the RA pathological process,effective maintain curative effect after operation.
